La Ilíada by Homer
"La Ilíada" by Homer is an ancient Greek epic poem composed around the late 8th or early 7th century BC. Set during the final weeks of the ten-year Trojan War, the poem follows the legendary warrior Achilles and his consuming anger—sparked by a bitter quarrel with King Agamemnon. As Greek and Trojan forces clash on the battlefield, gods intervene in mortal affairs, heroes face their destinies, and pride leads to devastating consequences.
Through scenes of warfare and intimate moments behind Troy's walls, this foundational work of European literature explores glory, fate, and the human cost of conflict. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
